 God's
plenty is a matchless wonder of apple and grape, squash and
pumpkin, lemon and pomegranate.
As we move now into the warmer months, as in each new season, we're reminded of God's providential
care. It's in the renewal of sky and earth, in his fastidious
attention to mountain laurel and flitting bird. Everywhere
we see the signs of abundance, of love and grace.
Let the measure of this season’s ardor for gift and blessing
be upon you!
As you visit this site, our hope is that
it calls out to you, our sister or brother,
in a solicitude
of joyous
fellowship.
Let the words and images here be food for the spirit.
Let the report of the goodness of God be upon all of us, and
there will be rejoicing in the land.
We hope you'll find the pages here a ready instrument of love’s
unbounded power for ...
- drawing those at a distance near and
- singing the song of high regard for the world and God
who made it.
May God's blessings continue to keep you in the
months ahead.
Ever yours in Christ,
--
Rev. Edward Scott
